Chapter 164: Raid
"How's it going, have all the people in the city withdrawn?"
The lord of the city himself came to the gate and asked the general who was in charge of directing the evacuation this time.
"Most of the people have been evacuated to the cave on the side according to the plan, but it will take time if the material is transported!"
The general replied.
"The transportation must be completed tonight, and tomorrow will be the appointed time!"
The city lord ordered.
"But I don't have enough manpower!"
The general looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers, who were pushing wooden wagons full of supplies, and they were moving with difficulty, and the carriages could not carry too much, otherwise the horses would not be able to run at all.
"Hmmm......"
The city lord pondered for a moment and said:
"I'll be mobilizing some troops and wagons to support me! Tell everyone, work hard, don't be lazy!"
"Hmm...... Lord Castle Lord......"
The general said with some hesitation.
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong?"
"Why don't you send them to another town! Wouldn't it be troublesome to hide in a cave that is not only cramped, but also damp, and needs to be protected by our troops?"
The general voiced his doubts.
"Can it be that simple? There are so many of us, where can we live? Living in the city will also be crowded, can other people stay in hotels for free? β
The lord of the city told the truth, looked at the soldiers again, and said:
"The other city lords are also reluctant to take in so many people, if they go to the city separately, and the relatives and children can't be separated, it may be even more troublesome, after all, there is not enough time!"
ββ¦β¦ So, how about asking for help from above?"
Now in this situation, if you don't ask for help from above, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep it, although I don't know how much the other party will come? However, the attacks of the demons have always been large-scale!
Moreover, this time it is still the demon clan, and this time the fuse was caused by the capture of the demon king.
"The above already knows! But he didn't show up for a long time, and I don't know how to deal with it now. β
The city lord could only shake his head and smile bitterly, this is the only way to do it at this time!
"Otherwise, let's all leave! Leaving only an empty city?"
The general asked.
If it's a battle that you can't be sure of, it's better to avoid it! In this way, there will be no casualties!
"Do you think it's possible?"
The castle lord looked at him with a smile on his face, but this smile looked very reluctant.
"The other party is a demon, do you think they are here to take the city? They are there to kill! You heard it too, to make the Demon King happy!"
"Wait a minute......"
The general was suddenly stunned, and then said excitedly:
"Maybe...... Maybe we can just make the Demon King happy! He'll withdraw his troops too!"
"Do you want to do such a thing? β¦β¦ I think I'm thinking about it! β
The city lord then waved his hand and left!
β¦β¦
Just waiting for a long time can feel like a long time, but when you make some kind of time-bound preparation, it feels like time flies quite quickly.
The appointed time has come.
On this day, the air was a little cold, as if I knew what kind of day it was. As far as the eye can see, the sky is cloudless and hazy. There was not the slightest sound of the wind, and the whole world was enveloped in a silence that could be heard almost as soon as a pin dropped.
There was tension all around.
Someone swallowed saliva, someone breathed heavily.
On the gates are magic crossbowmen, they are different from ordinary crossbowmen, their crossbow arrows combined with magic greatly increase penetration! This will make the crossbow arrows, which are already fast in fire and not have high enough attack power, be even more terrifying! This bolt can be easily pierced
They bent their bodies, with only one head exposed, and looked warily ahead.
Behind the crossbowmen was a row of huge crossbows, and with the addition of blasting magic, even if a level 40 human powerhouse was hit, it would be certain death!
And now there are more than 1,000 ballistas on top of the city wall, and you can imagine how much financial resources would be required for such a battle.
There were more than 50,000 ironclad soldiers outside the city, they were wearing iron armor, holding a large shield in their right hand and a large sword in their left hand, and they were still very nervous and uneasy.
Their goal is to fight the demons so that the other soldiers can attack the demons.
There are other troops that have ambushes, and the cavalry ones will not be introduced one by one!
And the paladins, the powerful escorts, are all standing in front of the ironclad army!
One can imagine how cautious the city lord was in this engagement.
On the high platform in the middle of the gate, a bonfire stood on each side, and its flickering light was lit on all sides.
On the platform stood several generals, and important figures such as the lord of the city.
The soldiers in front of the city were drumming like waves. Uneasiness, anxiety, and fearβthey struggle to hide these emotions, but they still can't suppress the wavering in their hearts, so there is such a clamour.
What will start next is a war. The friend next to him may turn into a corpse in the next moment, and the person who fell to the ground and died may be himself. This brutal battlefield will be the place where we will go later.
The lord of the city, standing up from among several people, interrupted such clamour.
"Warriors, warriors! Listen up! β
A majestic voice sounded, and the restlessness below immediately became silent.
"I confess, our enemy, the Demon, will be the strongest enemy we will ever encounter!"
There was no sound, but it was clear to everyone that there was an atmosphere of shaking on the field at the moment.
After a while, I opened my voice again.
"Although there are no reinforcements this time, everyone feels unprecedented panic and uneasiness! However, we are the masters of Dongyun City, and we cannot promise foreign enemies to trample on them at will! No matter who the other person is! Draw your swords!"
"Boom!! ......" the soldiers drew their weapons one after another.
"Even if the enemy is a demon, we can't retreat! As long as we defeat ......"
"Pop ......"
At this time, the city lord's words were not finished, and he had already been divided into two at once!
"-Woo!"
His blood was sucked away by the spikes!
Everyone looked at the place where the city lord stood, and they didn't know when a person was standing!
No, it can't be said that he is human!
He was about the size of a human, white all over, and only had red eyes on his face.
A mouth full of sharp teeth, terrifying! No one saw him appear like this at all!
"I'm the messenger, it's impossible for people to win us! You don't have reinforcements, and the Demon King thinks that this game is really boring, so he canceled this attack!"
It said in a shrill voice.
Hearing its words, a big stone fell in everyone's hearts, and they didn't even feel sad for the city lord, and the few people around the city lord didn't dare to move at all.
"As punishment, I've killed the poorly managed city lord, you can disperse!"
Then it turned into a pool of white water and seeped into the city walls......
"Yay! β¦β¦β
The soldiers cheered!
But no one cares if the city lord is cut or not! Either way, it's always good not to fight the demons.
